Playtime – lots and lots and lots
Playtime- lots and lots and lots
When I saw this set, I just knew I had to have it. Crazy ; a new to me store has some way fun sets, two of which I am going to show. This first one is Match, and its a delight of baby colours and sexyness, reminiscent of the mid to late 70’s early 80’s. The blue with pink shorts are adorable, they are sourced but too cute to pass up. The pink panties that come with and their skullies are so yummy with the very cropped white tanky bra top, I have to admit I love the stretched fabric shading on that, when your going to barely cover them, you want to know its an effort lol.
The socks with their rolled tops and the wraparound wrist bands again are divine, who didn’t do that back then, I at first wanted to wear some rollerskates with these, but then remembered the Dolly Sandals from Dela and their jelly plastic look, which was soooooooooooo approprate for my nostalgia tour for today. I have had the HLD Bear Headphones for so long, and as soon as I was all dressed I ran to their folder and fished them out , yay finally the perfect combination to wear them with, so cute, they come with two attachment options so YAY.
The fit perfectly over the Yuka Chignon from BP* a wonderful Hair Fair style, that again with those straight across bangs reminded me of being a kid and holding on to a rope on the back of a neighbours bike while she pulled me on my red and white rollerskates down our street, NEVER DO THAT! – still have the scar *sniffles*.
This next set isn’t from Crazy, I am going to move around a bit today. SK Designs and I go wayyyy back, I found the store when I used to blog on AM, and bought up everything, Sergio was new to design here then and his store has grown lots, I was so glad to have stumbled across it again, those older pieces are still much loved items. The Wicked set is definitely named well. The cropped turtleneck is divine, one thing I need to point out though, is that nearly every top I have to show today is on the jacket layer only, which does limit the mixy matchy a bit, but they are transfer , so it’s a bit of a either or situation I guess.I could easily see wearing this over the top of tanks and t’s though, the shorts are short lol , and deliciously ripped in various places, I really like the darkness of the denim too in these, often denim short shorts come way lighter, its nice to have an alternative. The ripped leggings finish it off well, note they don’t have feet to them , so you may choose to wear with shoes, but boots are probably preferable, as I have done with the fabulous Goth Belted boots by J’s , I love these booth, the strap work on them is remarkable, and of course you get the option of without also , so more bang for your buck.
Another Hair Fair style, is the wonderful Sioux by Refuge, I love her styles at Hair Fair this year, so yummy, the vintage style bangs on this straight style are fab.
Ok I really couldn’t resist this set. Again from Crazy, the Army set is just more buckets of fun. I love the whole outfit, from the fab military look with the sexy short hotpants, to the totally visible suspenders and stockings poking above and below, very saucy. The anarchy symbol on the back of the shirt and pants are a bit of extra fun too. Worn with one of the fab Gurl 6 Hair Fair releases, the Pip style is a great big bunch of sculpty love tails.
Keeping with the military feel I went with the Blair Boots in Leopard from Dela, I swear I can’t help it, its those buttons that do it for me, plus the colour was perfect.
With the colder weather still here, and rain, this set from SK Designs brought out my snuggle needs. The Otep outfit comes with the three beautiful knit tops, I love the options on these especially the sleeveless, so cosey. One of my favourite colours is the burgundy richness of the knit, then added in a patch to the wonderful not so short shorts, the skully belt on the pants layer is neato too, bringing it all together really well.
Chloe the Hair Fair style by Maitreya is just as snuggly with the texture change sculpted beanie atop the cascading pieces of richly textured hair. perfect combo for a day strolling around markets and stopping for a hot chocolate in some quaint cafe.
The Deviant set from SK Designs is another great set with options in the top. You have the cut out heart in the top or the full covering , which is nice to have both, depending on your mood. The straps and buckle work is really well done on the arms and mid section as well as continuing down to the torn leggings.
I love the tartan skirt in this set , and it is designed to be able to wear separate, so yay much joy. The boots are from Decadent Designs, I have had these for an age also, the Stompas boots are also well named, they are chunky and fun to just stomp around in, or dance,whatever strikes your fancy lol.
This hair is so cute, it’t the Curious Kitties Charity style at Hair Fair, so sailor moon I couldn’t resist it, I got it in three colours and the red looks great with this set, the sculptie bows are satiny and soo prettyful.
Lastly the Lasuna Outfit (note I flared the cuffs of the pants as they do come tight to the leg) also from SK Designs, you get the beautiful grey tank in three options, the print is really pretty on one of the long versions. The belt detailing on the pants is just stunning and the shading overall is yum. I also really like the sleeves that are not joined to anything on the gloves layer tieing it altogether but also a great thing to wear with other sets, and you know I love my grey. The cute little shrug is actually done on the shirt layer so only wearable under the tanks , which is again something you could mix and match with other outfits.
Skullz Chunkas are the shoes again from Decadent Designs, so adorable and fun to wear with this kind of outfit. The messy and vibrant Electra hair from Hair Fair by MMSkins is fabulous flyaway hair, definitely lots of electrical activity going on, it makes me think of rubbing your hands on carpet and holding them above someones, hair so cute, and I love the big loose curls underneath at the back.
The cropped top is called broken which made me giggle, so sexy and why wouldn’t you want to show off the Dernier Cri skin worn in all the pics, it’s the Kelsey Chestnut – Glamour: Pink, and I just love the make up available and the shine and fit body. All Jewelry and Hair Roses are by Essentia, the Choker Chain is one of my favourites of the Essentia Jewelry Collection.

Brown paper packages tied up with string
Brown paper packages tied up with string,
It’s hard not to think of that song when wearing pants like this. Sound of Music opened up all sorts of possibilities, I know that I myself have seen upholstery books in old second hand stores and thought ‘those would make such cute pants or skirts’. When I saw the Indiana Boho Set from SySy Designs on, that was my first thought, wow SySy has made pants from tapestry. Not only do I love the heavy look of these pants, you know ‘real’ weight, the kind you need in cooler weather, but the colours are divine.
These would be the ultimate find in a second hand store, I know-as I used to sell vintage clothing RL-that these are a treasure, you can scour stores and markets and garage sales for months, picking up bits and pieces, and once in a blue moon something like these just pokes out from under some other items; and you are in heaven.
The wrap top that comes with the set is a beautiful large stitch sweater, and as the trim is the same fabric as the pants it has that real handmade feel to it. Beautifully finished off with the braided belt and buckle detailing that as part of the pants. This Kestrel Hair is from Kin and is her freebie at Hair Fair, definitely a style worth having, I already love long and straight, with the addition of the leather straps, it’s perfect.
Another wonderful addition is the Studio Sidhe Joy Beaded Jewelry, Faery was getting so concerned about all her friends being so stressed out lately she calls them her Happy Beads, there are earrings, necklaces, bangles, bellyrings. All beautifully crafted, with a beautiful blend of colours in the beading.
The little hippy sets are easily enjoyed, they have a definite versatility in the set; with their trimmed leggings and mismatch lengths skirt. Dancing on the beach, or grabbing your favourite shopping basket and doing a round of the markets it all works. The light and breezy look of the fabric has a definite resort wear style to it, so for island hopping it’s wonderful.
The Bliensen+MaiTai Wind Chime earrings in snow just complimented the whole look,they also reminded me of taking things apart and wearing them- I kind of did that once in the 80’s accidentally on purpose, acquired two drops from a chandelier in a building, I looked one it as a public service though, the damn thing was hung so low I smacked my head on it. Worn with the absolutely Stunning In Space hair by Curio – at Hair Fair – this style is Chic Perfection (Green pic is flipped, the bangs cover the left eye) I love how the black textures from Curio look with this style, giving it real depth.
Definitely more of a casual look, the Capri Pants and Short n Striped tops by SySy Designs are a terrific combo. The capri pants are beautifully crafted, the texture is fantastic on them, I don’t thing you can ever have too many sets of Capris, and with the upcoming winter boots, if they are the right length they are perfect to wear with. The tie tops are fun and playful, the knit style fabric makes them snuggly, and they would be great in layers over or under other items.
Wearing the Cafe hair from Analog Dog -Hair Fair – with them, I think this style is so glamorous in a bombshell kind of way, but love how it can look just stunning no matter how you are dressed. All the skins shown are from Damiani and are the Michelle V2 Skins in sunkissed, beautiful work done on these and I just love the nose, be sure to check out the Demos.
Also wearing the Tassel Wedges from J’s with and without the stunning wraparound parts that go up the leg so magnificently.

Dark Eden has released the Shaman Rust sets, when Etain was telling me she was excited about a new release coming, I was excited with and for her. Then she showed me the items and I got excited for me and everyone else.
There are three types of Shaman rust, so dependant on your mood you can choose dark, light or medium. For the most part this is a silks set, BUT, the motor parts and use of old metals and gears etc have turned it into so much more.
You remember those shows where it was usually after some disaster had befallen the planet, and someone would stumble across a community of what were once kids, who have had to raise themselves and so on lol. Well they always wore things like this, making outfits out of parts and scraps of what they could find. I always loved those shows, I always wanted to see some kid walk into the room in a ballgown or something though, I mean you would think one of the big name designer stores would have at least a few gowns that would survive *chuckles*.
Anyway rambling aside, I love what Etain has done with these sets, and you can even buy jewelry to match, adorable gear parts earrings and even a bindi for the middle of your forehead, but that didnt really work for this incredible hair that I just had to put with the set. You really need to check out the individual pieces for the Shaman Rust sets, because the leg and hand pieces are something I could see many wearing often.
Now about that hair, Tekili-Li released the Graeae style at Hair Fair, and its just wonderful, there is texture change metals and the work that has gone into the style is just amazing. Again totally the kind of look that the Shaman set and Graeae conjurs for me when thinking of those shows. I love all the bead and chain work, I’m a bit scared of the bones and teeth 😛 but I’m pretending that they are from one of those souvenir stores, and that they are plastic lol.
I love the combination of both, and again so many of the Dark Eden pieces you can mix and match. The skin is the SUZANA- sunkissed 22 from Lionskins , which has a wonderful shimmery greenish gold shadow and nude lips, with of course the lickable tummy.
ALL Teleports are on the page HERE for these and many other stores.Hair Fair is HERE.

Too Much Fun!
Too Much Fun!
Seriously it all started with a car. when Digit was interviewed for a TV show here in Phils Place we got a bit silly after the shoot. She rezzed a car that she had and it was a teeny tiny car, craaazy tiny and so cute. Then when we were setting up for Hair Fair I rezzed it and Paisley knew of the store it came from, as mine was sent to me by Digit I hadn’t been, So Mikayla, Washu,Pailsley and I all ran over and OMGosh that store is just crazy fun.
The Store is Curio Obscura and WOW!, I couldn’t believe the incredible items that this store has, once I got my sights on these Uber Platforms they had to be mine. Uber they certainly are, its like being on fashionable stilts, they are craaaazy fun. Not only do they have the incredible platforms but the pics you see of the different texture variations are all scripted into the boots, and there are so many to choose from, you will have tonnes of fun.
So when I put on the Scene Queen style from Deviant Kitties from Hair Fair, I just knew that this hairstyle needed some totally scene grabbing extras and these boots are just perfect. The hair is Beautifully styled, full with sleek eye covering swept bangs, and the little addition of the wonderful tiara with skulls that you can choose to wear or not, depending on your mood, as it is a seperate attachment.
Keeping up with the Goth version of the boots, and the skulls on the tiara I added the Lulu Skelly socks from Celestial Studios, I love these and each pack comes with different scales of the colour pack, and also you get leggings versions as well as socks. Feeling more like a Princess than a Queen I wanted to be all prettyful, so straight to one of my favourite cocktail frocks with the Posh Dress from CKS Designs, I love this dress its so swish swish girly girl.
The skin is from Lion Skins and is the SUZANA-pale 4 beautiful lips and the smokey grey eyes was just perfect for this whole look. I really love the plummy softness of the full lips, mixed with the grey it is a gorgeous palette.
Now some more Yummy Grey, as soon as I saw the release of Pinstripe Princess from Icing it had to be mine. Not only for my love of Grey and especially with red, but of course my love of the System Skirt. Icing always does this style outfit so incredibly well. Beautiful design and texture work making it a sleek and stylish look for any affair. Underneath it I am wearing the N°9 Nylons Highwaist Seamed Pantyhose, these are fantastic, N°9 Nylons has so many incredible stocking/pantyhose and underwear sets and if you love your vintage looks you definitely have to check them out.
Under the pantyhose I am wearing the Be Mine lingerie sets bra and panties by Ingenue which works out well as I am also wearing one of the new Hair Fair styles Lamour also by Ingenue. Its incredible how creative and talented our designers in Phils Place are, especially when they spread their wings wide, its an adorable style, beautifully arranged and in lovely textures.
Perfect for a Vintage Classic look like this one is the Ekota T strap heels from Enkythings. The original Ekota heels were a release at Shoe Fair and marvelous, but the new T Strap version are just splendid and sooo appropriate as I said for this look, and this era. Whether for the office or play you will shine in these shoes. PALE-LionSkins-8 by Lion skins as you can see is soft with just a hint of blush on the cheeks, in keeping with the innocence of the era, pale skin and red lips but with a slight sheen is just lovely.
The instant I see a fedora I think Gangster, and I am sure I am not the only one. One of the big whispers around the week before Hair Fair was ‘Torrid Does Hair ?” yes yes she does. Torrid has always had hair in her TorridWear store, as far back as I remember, but this year she decided to launch New Hair and WOW! I cant wait to see more styles from her in the future. Fedorable LaRoux is this gorgeous Hat/Hair style with texture change hat to either black or a rich divine brown, and texture change band with many colours to choose from. Beautiful rich side pony draped over the shoulder in rich textures, I had to also grab the shorter bun style version as well (not shown).
When at Torrid’s booth at Hair Fair there is also a freebies box/bag set out with two yummy poses as shown in the pic, so make sure you grab those. What better outfit to do my impression of a Gangster than the Bloody Amaryllis set from Bare Rose , this is an old set and just HOT! The shirt and hotpants are just yummy with or without the stockings , this set is something you could play around with to make different looks, just by removing the gun and holster and the knife , which are too cute in a guns and knifes on me are like a handbag , totally accessories nothing more.
The fabulous New Silvera pumps from Dela are beautiful patent look leather in wonderful colours also, sturdy heel for that getaway once you do whatever Gangsters do. I really like the gloss look to this style and the extra curve at the toe cleavage, bringing the shoe slightly away from the foot for a more realistic look.
SUZANA- sunkissed 10 by Lionskins, no lipstick smudges to leave at the scene of the crime just gorgeous smokey eyes and heavy liner, a Gangstress can’t be wasting time with too much make up, it might leave traces behind.

Covered top to toe for at least a ………………..week? :P
Covered top to toe for at least a ………………..week? 😛
My goodness what a week so far, and yes I know it’t only monday for many of you, but for me the week started with the opening of Hair Fair. I’ve completely lost track of days, time etc, it’s frazzling. But amongst all that I have been dieing to show some newness and oldness and just plain YummyNess.
First off is the Monica Dress from CKS Designs. A beautiful Halter style ring dress, with an asymmetrical flexi skirt, actually to be honest I’m not sure if that is the right term- is asymmetrical side to side or can it be back to front too?- anywho, it’s longer at the back than the front :P. Dress styles like this one are perfect for dancing as they swish and twirl so well. Monica comes in an abundance of colours and every layer imaginable, and Kit Maitland also lists all of her items on Onrez and SLX so great for gifting.
A cute dress needs cute shoes, and the New Stella Shoes from Dela are just that. Stunning textures as usual these shoes have a sensational bow at the open toes beautifully crafted and trimmed in gold, they are a delight on the eyes and the toes. I really like the solid heel on these too, still as high as a great stiletto but with a sturdiness to them, which is great for dancing.
The Alesa Hair from Diversity Hair is available at Hair Fair and is the Charity Style for that booth, 50% of all sales of that style will go to locks of love for the duration of the fair. A wondeful layered style that can be casual or dressy with some primping in the mirror, its that kind of cut that just works. SUZANA- sunkissed 7 from Lion Skins is the same sort of skin as the hair, beautiful and soft but can move into high Glam easily, the brown soft tones make it very natural but also striking when impact is needed.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS, as I have said a few times now, it’s winter here , and I pine and ache for new boots. So my excitement is just crazy when today two incredible designers dropped boots on me. The first ones are by Adam n Eve’s Damen Gorilla. They are the new Skai boots and they are delish. The large buckle at the top is just fab for a biker sort of look, and the detailing in the textures at the foot is wonderful, these will be the first of a huge range of delish boots from Adam n Eve and I can’t wait to see more.
Going with that biker look, I opted for the sexy Leather pants also from Adam n Eve in black, I am wearing the underpants layer which are perfect for boot fit, they also come on the pants layer and have sculpted cuffs as well, beautiful work on the leather and there are fantastic colours to choose from. The fab Men’s Leather Biker jacket is from Valiant , and as I have said and shown before men’s stuff rocks on women.
Underneath I am wearing two tops that actually are no longer buyable as the creator left Phils Place over a year ago, but I love my Ruins folder and I was so happy to see a girl at Hair Fair wearing one of his dresses. RedX Boyoma was an incredible designer and an incredible giver, as not many knew but all sales from his store went to Charity it was just not something he promoted.
The hair is by !TM Tami McCoy makes fab hairstyles for all needs, and this one is her Charity Hair for the Hair Fair too. Fun and Funky the Playful style is just super cute. I really like her colour packs too, she blends so many together to give great variations of needs. The skin is the SUZANA-pale 56 by Lion Skins , this skin reminds me of The Crow so it was perfect for this biker/rocker look.
More BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS, These are the Snakeskin boots by LYA , and they come in two different snakeskin patterns and the colours are just great. The zippers up the side finished off with the tassle are beautiful and the shape and heel are going to make you reach for them often.
Wearing an older style from League the Strictly Business set is just heaven for so many reasons. First off the military look to the overall style is just Yummy, I love the epaulets on the shoulders, the high collar too is neat, and the stunning skirt with the tail back is gorgeous, with detailing of straps criss crossed over the bum- talk about cheek enhancement.
The Nahla Hair from Maitreya at Hair Fair is oh so Yummy. The tight pony at the back holding firmly in place the loose front is just inspired and so difficult to master in RL as it depends strongly on the weight of your hair to carry this look off properly, but here we don’t have to worry about that at all, and no hair spray required. Being all about Business a lighter Make up is needed and the Lion Skins SUZANA- sunkissed 10 is just perfect for that, nude lips and softly shaded eyes with heavily lined lids its drop dead gorgeous.
Enjoy the looks today and Make sure you get thee to the Hair Fair.

Do what you can
Zorena Deckard of ookami Ninjen told me the other day about this event that was being hosted this weekend. With Hair Fair and everything else going on I didn’t get a chance until now to do anything about it :(. I have since then Donated some Gift Cards from Digit Darkes but also Donated 3 Dazzle Gowns that will be Auctioned off, I hope that that helps in some way and I hope that many of you can get over there and make a difference.
Info from the Notecard.Phoenix Psaltery and his SL/RL wife Sansarya Caligari are both long-time, well known residents in SL. He owns part of one of the oldest SL newspapers, The Metaverse Messenger, and Sans blogs about her passionate love for SL fashion.
Just a few days ago, Phoenix went into complete renal failure and has ended up in intensive care at a hospital away from his home town, with a shunt for dialysis. Unfortunately, there are other complications as well, including pneumonia. Finances have gotten dire for them as Sans has to stay at a hotel while he’s in ICU, not to mention other expenses that are incurred and with children left at home in the care of relatives.
So their SL friends have joined together to help them! We are putting on an all day auction and live DJ event. Many people have donated items such as transferable Dazzle dresses, and merchants have made limited editions for sale at this auction only.
The event starts Saturday August 23 at 10AM SLT, with a fabulous DJ line up.

* RL original oil painting by Jen (from Jen) SL name Schechinah Enoch (title: Currents Oil on Canvas 2004 20″x24″) Free shipping is included if it gets a price of $250USD or more.

Unbalding for a Moment
Unbalding for a Moment
Ok so for the last day and a bit, I have been bald and primless. Many of you know that Hair Fair 2008 is in full swing now, and as one of the Hair Fair Organisers I have been at the entrance of Orange for hours and needed a break.I also wanted to wear some of the hair I was able to get before we opened lol. Anyway this is by no means all of them :P, but I wanted to snap some shots and give you a peak.
This first one Jordan is from Discord Designs, it is an incredible braided style, and sooo awesome, the braiding detailing at the scalp to really give the effect of your hair being pulled tight and worked into these stunning braids is just wonderful. The mens pic in the lower corner is the Freebie for DIscord Designs, the beard and the hair in two colours, so make sure you check that out too.The skin I have on is from Lion Skins and is the lovely SUZANA- sunkissed 60, wanting something that was subtle in colour but as dramatic as the hair, this skin is just perfect.
Discord Designs at the Hair Fair
Dernier Cri has released Mariko on the left and Natasha on the right, both stunning styles in beautiful textures, the dyepack system is genius allowing you to buy as many as you want and creating your own unique colour pack. The demo style allows you to change colour as often as you want to , but the purchased wigs only allows for once, so make sure if you are buying more than one you keep your demo and demo dye pack so that for the next time you want to colour one of your purchases you can test with the demo first.Mariko is a long sculptie style, very soft bangs and lovely waves, Natasha is a beautiful semi pulled through bun style with lovely wisps of hair on the sides, great for casual or formal events.
The skin is Lion Skins SUZANA- sunkissed 51, stunning soft peach like lips and eye make up offsetting the same peachy yummyness with some splashes of lime, this skin would be great for cocktail hour lol.
HCT’s Babyboo Glitterbuck has started only recently to do Sculpted hair, and wow. We all know that going from priims to sculpties has been a huge task for many and its wonderful when a blend of both is used in a style. The styles shown from left to right are Moni, Raina and Fiona and the little pick is Lonnie the Freebie Female hair for HCT (Here Comes Trouble).
Gorgeous sidepony in the Moni with lovely layered effect in the length, the Raina hair is two pieces, the hair at the front and the way cool beanie, that comes in so many different patterns and colours. Fiona is sooo gorgeous , it is a stunning Uppy Do with such wonderful curls. You get the with and without headband option in this style, and I adore both.
This skin SUZANA-pale 57 is one of my Favorites of the Lion Skins, it looks so wonderful and I can just imagine the incredible pictures that arty type people could take with it.
Mirada has the wonderful short style Codie on the right with that sort of shag razor look in a gorgeous wine texture, it is scripted for easy resizing and would look great on men also. Rattus-Alex is a wonderful Dreads style pulled back tight and tied off with an intricate knot, allowing for some loose and strategic tendrils on the sides, this is sold as main colour with three streaks combos included. Lindsey the smaller pick is the freebie style also scripted and in the fat pack of all colours.
SUZANA- sunkissed 63 by Lionskins has incredible dramatic eyemake up and soft lips, another of my favs of the Lion Skins range.

Teagan Blackthorne of Savoir Hair and also a member of the Hair Fair committee has put together a slurls list of the booths at Hair Fair to help make it easier to locate particular booths HERE , but make sure you check out ALL of the wonderful designers that have done an incredible job of making this years Hair Fair magnificent.
Always thankful for:
Essentia for my Beautiful Hair Roses and Jewelry many pieces of which I have watched being made, and had the pleasure of wearing first as they are custom fit to my shape-I’m blessed.
Nuclear Boutique for my lovely Lashes that I wear when I think of it and because Ari is awesome.
My Posestand is by VR Fetish/Fashion and also available on OnRez HERE!, not only does it have hide/show, but also has 3 options for changing poses, lights built in you command on/off in chat, and it rezzes a prim sphere around you that allows you to turn your camera 360 degrees and take pics without moving your stand, the sphere also changes colour on chat command too, its brilliant!.
My eyes which I get complimented on all the time are from Minnu Model Skins the MMS Green which I love.

Getting ready to attend this year’s Hair Fair ? Great!
Getting ready to attend this year’s Hair Fair? Great! The sims will open in just under an hour!!!
Just sending out some friendly advice for everyone who’s clicking away at their landmarks trying to land a spot as the first few shoppers for this year’s events…
Firstly, we must all remember that there will of course be lag. Though the pudding/jello walk will be undeniable avoidable – here are a few tips that you can do to help ease the pain of walking slush and rubber-band shopping throughout the FOUR hair fair sims:
– There are FOUR sims this year – so if you are trying to get into one and failing, perhaps try starting in a different sim? Each sim offers a bounty of hairstyles from everyone’s favorite coiffures in Second Life, and even if you cannot go directly to the sim hosting your personal favorite, taking a walk through another might introduce you to something new and equally as great!

– Hair Fair 2008 will stand for roughly -two weeks- this year! Though the prospect of stuffing your inventories with new hair all in the first day may be enticing, there will be events and shopping for the full duration of the event. If you are looking to demo hairstyles, the best way to do so is to explore the sims and pick up the demos and then try them elsewhere so that you can later return and pick up the hairstyles of your choosing.
– Less prims = Less Lag. This isn’t a concept that is new to shopping in Second Life as we all know. Please be courteous to your fellow shoppers and reduce your prim counts before entering the sims. The most daring of course will go without their favorite heels and high-prim hairs, but for the more self conscious – we ask that you think of the others as well as yourself before hopping in. (You may also want consider going bald especially if you’ll be returning home to try on your prim hairs/demos before buying.)
– Removing scripted HUDS/items such as AOs will greatly benefit the stability of the sim in which you are shopping in. (These items can include but are not limited to AOs, Mysti HUDS, Emote HUDS, bling particles, facelights etc.)
Please remember, above all else – Hair Fair 2008 is a charity event that benefits a wonderful cause (Locks of Love). Please be kind to your fellow shoppers and designers alike and remember what we are all here trying to do.
Thanks everyone!
